Credit chip

Credit chips were a means of carrying credits, standard currency in the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire. They were small enough to be convenient for carrying on one's person and came in a number of common denominations for easy exchange.

Republic-era credit chips were smaller, narrow rectangles that were colored either gold or silver depending on the denomination.[1]

Imperial credit chips were larger, wider rectangles with rounded corners, and were all gold-colored.[2]

Credit chips were not considered acceptable currency at Watto's shop. All advertised prices were in coins.[3]
